Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention belongs to the technical field of telephone communication for identifying and displaying the originator when an incoming call arrives.
It can be used for all types of telephone devices such as mobile phones, PHS, and pagers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional telephone rings a ringer when an incoming call arrives in order to notify the incoming call. Some mobile phones, such as mobile phones and pagers, use vibrations to notify of incoming calls.

In recent telephones, there is also a telephone that can identify the originator by displaying the calling number (= identification number of the originator) sent from the network when a call is received on the liquid crystal. Furthermore, it is registered in the memory as phone book data in which the phone number and name are paired in advance, and when the phone number in the phone book data matches the calling number sent from the network when receiving a call, the phone number and name are displayed in characters. In some cases, the identification of the sender is facilitated by doing so.

[0004]

However, in the conventional telephone, in order to identify the originator, it is necessary to know the incoming call by sound or vibration and to confirm the originator by the telephone number or name displayed in characters on the liquid crystal. is there. Therefore, especially in the case of mobile phones such as mobile phones and pagers, since they are usually put in the back or pocket during standby, when the call is heard by sound or vibration, the phone is taken out from the back or pocket and the characters on the LCD are displayed. The sender cannot be identified without checking the display.

[0005]

In order to solve the conventional problems, the present invention compares the calling number sent from the network at the time of incoming call with the telephone number already registered in the memory, and if they match, By changing the operation mode such as the ring tone or the vibration pattern, it is possible to identify the senders registered in the memory and the senders not registered in the memory at the same time as an incoming call. Furthermore, the operation mode information of the ringtone or vibration can be set for each phone number registered in the memory, and the operation mode such as the ringtone or vibration pattern can be changed for each calling number, and specified according to the operation mode information of the matched phone number. The calling means for notifying the incoming call is operated in the specified operation mode to enable the originator to be identified at the same time as the incoming call.

Further, depending on whether or not it is registered in the memory,
The calling means for notifying the incoming call is switched. For example, if the phone number that matches the calling number is not registered in the memory, operate the ringer to notify the incoming call with a sound, and if it is registered, operate the vibrator to notify the incoming call by vibrating the memory. Make it possible to distinguish between registered and unregistered sources at the same time as an incoming call. In addition, it is possible to set the selection information of the calling means that notifies the incoming call for each telephone number registered in the memory, and operate the means that notifies the specified incoming call according to the selection information of the telephone number that matches the calling number Allows original identification.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram of essential parts of a telephone device showing an embodiment of the present invention. First, the communication control unit 2 notifies the control unit 1 when an incoming call is detected. The control unit 1 recognizes the calling number (identification number) of the calling telephone device sent from the network (101) and detects whether the calling number can be displayed (102). The information indicating whether or not it can be displayed is sent together with the calling number, and whether or not it can be set is set by the sender. If displayable, the control unit 1 searches for a telephone number in the telephone book registered in the memory 3 in advance (103), and if the same telephone number as the above-mentioned calling number exists in the telephone book,
The sound output unit 4 is notified to ring the ringer with the phone book matching ringing tone, and the phone book matching ringing tone is played from the sound output unit 4 (104). If the calling number cannot be displayed, or if the same phone number does not exist in the phonebook even if it can be displayed, a notification is given to ring the ringer with a normal ringing tone, and the normal ringing tone is output from the sound output unit 4. Sound (105). The telephone directory data of the memory 3 is the telephone number and the name registered in advance by the operation control unit 5.

As an application example 1, the ringing tone pattern is registered in the telephone directory data of the memory 3 in association with each telephone number by the setting means of the operation control unit 5, and the telephone number of the telephone directory data having the same calling number is registered. By transmitting the corresponding ringing tone from the sound output unit 4, it is possible to recognize the difference of the other party at the same time as the incoming call by the difference of the ringing tone.

As an application example 2, the setting unit of the operation control unit 5 registers the ringing volume level (sound volume) in association with the telephone directory data of the memory 3 for each telephone number, and the telephone numbers of which the calling numbers match. By transmitting the ringing tone from the sound output unit 4 at the volume corresponding to the telephone number of the book data, it is possible to recognize the difference of the other party at the same time as the incoming call due to the difference of the ringing volume.

As an application example 3, by changing the calling means for notifying an incoming call, such as a ringer or a vibrator, when the calling number matches or does not match the phone number in the phonebook data, the caller can change the phonebook data. Whether or not it is registered can be recognized at the same time as an incoming call.

As an application example 4, the selection information for designating the calling means for notifying an incoming call such as a ringer or a vibrator is registered in the telephone directory data of the memory 3 by the setting means of the operation control unit 5 in association with each telephone number. A specific calling party can be recognized at the same time as an incoming call by operating the designated calling means according to the selection information of the matched telephone number to notify the incoming call.

According to the present invention, it is possible to know from whom the call is made by the difference in ringing tone, ringing volume, etc. at the same time as an incoming call.

By turning off the volume (or vibration) of the person who does not want to answer the telephone, the ringing tone does not sound (does not vibrate).

By changing the ringing tone pattern (vibration pattern) of the friend relationship and the work relationship partner, it is possible to prepare for the response before the telephone response.

With respect to the incoming call from the other party who must receive the highest priority, the volume can be set to a high level so that the incoming call can be recognized even if the user is away from the telephone.

For a person who should not know that another person has received a call, by switching to the vibrator 6 and notifying the incoming call by sound, setting is made so that the incoming call is notified by vibration. You can know the incoming call without knowing it and leave the place to answer the call.

Although some embodiments of the present invention have been described above, these embodiments may be combined. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the ringer (sound output unit 4) and the vibrator 6 are explained as the calling means for notifying the incoming call, but the means is not limited to the means for notifying the incoming call audibly or tactually. In the case of applying to the means for notifying the incoming call, the blinking pattern or the intensity of blinking light may be changed depending on whether the calling number matches the telephone number in the memory or not.

[0018]

According to the present invention, the originator can be easily identified at the same time as an incoming call.
